Children’s developing bodies are especially vulnerable to toxins found in our food and environment. Switching to organic food has an immediate effect on the body. Within 36 hours, pesticides may no longer be detected in a child’s urine.

I am a new mom and big believer in the importance of an organic diet and natural lifestyle. While I have not always been an all-natural eater, the organic lifestyle has slowly become extremely important to me, especially as I exclusively breastfeed my baby and plan to do so until he is one year old. I recently relocated to a small town in the Midwest from southern California. Here the organic food selection is quite small and very expensive. I buy everything that I can find (and afford) organic, but I think that the more media attention organics receive, the more mainstream, available, and affordable these products will become. I am sharing this article with all of my contacts! Thank you, Green Mom!
